Breakfast Club Pancake Challenge & Pancake Race

The Breakfast Club is challenging diners again this year to the ultimate competition: order a plate of 12 pancakes at one of the cafe’s four locations (Angel, Hoxton, Spitalfields or Soho) and attempt to eat them all in 15 minutes. If you succeed, your meal is free; if you can’t stomach the whole lot, you’ll be stuck with a £17.50 bill (all the money goes to the Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity, which supports children with serious illnesses). Sound intriguing? Keep in mind that these aren’t your usual thin pancakes. Instead, they’re super thick and served with cream, berries AND maple syrup…and they just might cause you to go into a food-induced coma!

If that’s too daunting of a task to attempt, you can sign up for the Pancake Race! Contestants will each receive a plate of six pancakes, and winners are rewarded with free meals for themselves and three of their friends. The race takes place at the Hoxton, Spitalfield and Battersea branches at 7:30 pm. If you’re interested in entering, email ferris@lovetbc.com with your name and preferred location.
